It's true in most rich countries at this point. Apple's been steadily launching more of their capabilities in new countries. I just used Apple Maps across eight countries in Europe. I did send a few problem reports, but they're better than Google now everywhere I went.

At this point if I lived somewhere they weren't great, I'd submit improvements for all the places I went

Just checked my commute to work on the west coast. It found 1 of 3 public transit options, doesn't know that my company has an office at that location (public info), and doesn't list the cost. I also just finished a driving trip through Central Europe with an apple map user, where it got stuck in construction Google knew about (+1h), didn't have good traffic info at other times, and also chose the most boring route. The trip improved once we switched to routing with Google.

Apple maps is adequate now, but as a map power-user it's been pretty far from great every time I've tried it. I'm happy they finally managed to get an accurate basemap though.

In asia it is still unusable. I have to re-download Google Maps (I abhor using Google products) every time I travel to that part of the world.

My experience too. Here in Bangkok I never bother to even open it anymore.

I've found it to be excellent in Japan. Like I said... rich countries.
